Zhehua Fengyi Send it to the Longtou people.
Jiangnan has nothing, just send a spring branch.
About the author Lu Kai (date of birth and death unknown), courtesy name Zhijun, was born in Dai (now east of Yu County, Hebei Province). When Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty was still alive, he was known for his loyalty and loyalty. He was appointed as the prefect of Zhengping and stayed in the county for seven years.
Appreciation
In ancient times, there were countless poems for friends. This one by Lu Kai is unique in its shortness and straightforwardness. The whole poem is like a letter to a friend, cordial. Easy-going and interesting.
The beginning of the poem points out that the poet and his friends are thousands of miles away and it is difficult to get together. They can only communicate with each other by messenger. But this time, what the poet sent was not a letter but plum blossoms. This shows that the relationship between the two is close and the emotional expression is no longer rigid. The word "meeting" seems casual, but in fact it is intentional; it reminds me of friends because of the messenger, so I send plum greetings, which reflects the deep concern for my friends. If the first two lines of the poem are straightforward and plain, then the last two lines reveal deep blessings in a light greeting. Jiangnan not only has nothing, but also the sincere feelings of the poet, and all of this is condensed in a small plum blossom. This shows how elegant the poet's taste is and how rich his imagination is. "A branch of spring" is a method of borrowing from generation to generation, symbolizing the coming of spring and also implying the expectation for the moment of reunion. Associating friends with seeing things and thinking about people will definitely understand the poet's wisdom.
This poem is exquisitely conceived, clear, natural and full of interest. Although the words are simple, if you read it carefully, the vitality and affection of spring will appear before your eyes.
Notes:
There are no less than a thousand poems about Lingmei in ancient and modern times. The earliest one is Lu Kai's "Gift to Fan Hua". , Talk about giving a spring branch. ""Zhili Nanxiong Prefecture Chronicle" records that there is a Meiyi Station in the south of Nanxiong City, that is, I took the broken plums to meet the poems at the Station. The post was rebuilt by Li Qi, the magistrate of Shaoxing in the Song Dynasty. Dai Xilun, the magistrate of Daoguang Prefecture in the Qing Dynasty, wrote a poem "Send Plum Blossom Station": "A branch of spring can be regarded as a favor, and it can be given as a gift to the beauty of Nanzhou. The wonderful thing is that it is not listed in the account, and the fragrance will be conquered through the ages."
Lu Kai was from the Three Kingdoms period. "Three Kingdoms". "Lu Kai Biography" records: "Lu Kai, whose courtesy name is Jingfeng, is from Wu County in Wu County. The prime minister is also a descendant of the clan. Huang Wu was the chief of the Yongxing Zhuji at the beginning. He had a record of governance there and worshiped the Jianwu Captain. Although he led the troops and commanded the army, his hands He did not release the book... He eliminated the prefect Dan'er in Chiwu, conquered Zhuya, and was promoted to Jianwu school captain. "The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms. The Biography of Sun Quan also records: "In the autumn and July of the fourth year of Chiwu, General Nie You was sent. , Colonel Lu Kai sent 30,000 troops to attack Zhuya Dan'er. "
This poem was probably written by Lu Kai when he led his troops to conquer Meiling in the south. He climbed up to Meiling Mountain in the midst of the army, and the plum blossoms were in full bloom. He immediately stood among the plum blossoms, looked back to the north, and thought of his friend Fan Hua from Longtou. He happened to meet the messenger who was going north, and the plum blossoms appeared A scene of writing a poem to a friend. His Confucian general's demeanor of "although he commands the army but never lets go of the book" appears before the readers' eyes.
"Gift to Fan Hua" contains only 20 words. It expresses sincere friendship in simplicity and elegant artistic conception in plainness. "Spring", as a symbol of plum blossoms, heralds to people that a beautiful spring is coming, and hopes that people's good wishes will come true.
Who is Fan Hua? During the Liu and Song Dynasties in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, there was Fan Ye who wrote the "Book of the Later Han", but he was nearly 200 years away from the Three Kingdoms. He was definitely not this Fan Ye, but another Fan Ye from the Three Kingdoms. Some people think that Fan Hua is Fan Hua from the Liu Song Dynasty, and Lu Kai is not the Lu Kai from Wu in the Three Kingdoms, but another Lu Kai from the Liu Song Dynasty. Whether it is ripe or not is yet to be verified.
Lu Kai’s poem only has twenty words, but it contains infinite poetic interest and emotion. When Lu Kai missed Fan Ye, in order to express his noble and pure feelings, he specially picked a plum blossom and asked the messenger to bring it to Fan Ye. He was called a Longtou person because Fan Ye was in Chang'an, Shaanxi, and Longshan is in Shaanxi. Long County, so Longtou people were used to replace it. It goes without saying that the place where Lu Kai folded the flowers and gave them away was Jiangnan, and the plum blossoms in Jiangnan are world-famous. Lin Bu, who lived in seclusion in the West Lake, had a poem about plum blossoms: "The sparse shadows are slanting across the clear water, and the faint fragrance floats in the moonlight at dusk." This is a portrayal of the charm of plum blossoms in the south of the Yangtze River. Jiangnan is a country of cultural relics, rich in cultural relics, but Lu Kai believes that other gifts are not enough to express his feelings for Fan Ye, so there is nothing valuable in Jiangnan to give to each other, and the only way to announce the spring is to come before spring. The plum blossoms are the most appropriate for sending messages, so they are thousands of miles away to express their longing, and the plum blossoms also symbolize the noble friendship between them. Around the time when Lu Kai presented his poems to the plum blossoms, "One Branch of Spring" became synonymous with plum blossoms and their farewells. It can be seen that the impact is far-reaching. Poets from the Tang and Song Dynasties have similar chants. Liu Kezhuang wrote: "Walking alone in the light smoke and snow, folding the plum blossoms and sending them to a branch", which copied Lu Kai's artistic conception; Gao Qi wrote: "Infinite spring sorrow in a branch", which is It is adapted from Lu Kaishi to express feelings. Later, even the lyrics of the song also took the title of "One Branch of Spring". There is a story recorded in "Old Wulin Stories": "On New Year's Eve, children play all night long and cannot sleep, which is called staying up. Although there are many words about staying up, it is extremely difficult to choose. Du Yang Shouchi's "Yizhichun" is the most famous in modern times." It can be seen that. A small poem also has artistic charm that has been handed down from generation to generation.
Its artistic beauty lies in its simplicity, nature and metaphor. In a specific season and a specific environment, it expresses the feelings of cherishing friends through a plum blossom that is recognized by the world as having noble sentiments, and combines abstract feelings and images. The plum blossoms have become one. (Zeng Minzhi)
